i now shy away from those chain rank-the-six posts (they seem to draw a lot of hostility, lol), but i thought it would be interesting to look at the rankings of 'six wives' fiction series, there's really only two bestselling series where it makes sense to do this:
weir's series by sales rankings:
Katherine Parr (#32 in Renaissance HistFic)
Anne Boleyn (#34 in Renaissance HistFic)
Anne of Cleves (#44 in RHF)
Katherine Howard (#56 in RHF)
Jane Seymour (#69 in RHF)
Katherine of Aragon (#84 in RHF)
gregory's by sales rankings (more difficult but i went for the center/central of the novel when i couldn't do by the protagonist):
Anne of Cleves/Katherine Howard (#24 in RHF)
Anne Boleyn (#33 in RHF)
Katherine Parr (#42 in RHF)
Katherine of Aragon (#60 in RHF)
bonus, suzannah dunn's by ranking (now i'm fascinated):
Anne Boleyn
Katherine Howard
Jane Seymour
Katherine Parr

The Waves That Lap The Shore - Chapter 26 - Cyclone Patrick
Notes:
Paani my beloved genderfluid fail. also I’m sorry for the lack of Shellie and Peso lately. But I bet they’ll have more focused on because of the whole Edda thing. ALSO HOLY SHIT BUD? Yeah >:3 I love bud <3 their just a guy. Love their sibling dynamic w/ pancake. So here’s my hc for him :) Bud - they/he, demiboy   This is so random but I watched some episodes w/ bud so I could get a good idea of his character and how he acts and such and I gotta say. I love him. Silly guy :) I watched the Caddisfly episode and it gave me a good idea of how him and pancake’s dynamic works. Ngl I absolutely adore it <3 I like to see it as older sibling and little sibling kinda dynamic :3 also random but I’ve been very excited to release this chapter.
Tumblr media
•••
Shellington, Peso, Kwazii and Paani were chilling at Paani’s house. 
“We should show them the stones.” Peso whispered, Shellington nodded 
“We  found these stones at the bottom of the Moon Pool.” Shellington said, placing them on the table.
“We think that they mean something because they’re shaped like our powers.” Peso added “I’ll take this thanks.” Paani mumbled, snatching the one that was shaped like a lightening bolt, Kwazii then snatched the one shaped like a burning fire.
•••
Later 
Paani was in Kwazii’s room. He had went back with the other fish dudes to the Octopod. He pulled out his bracelet kit and started making an anklet for himself. 
He felt, unusually uneasy after he had put the anklet on, he felt knots form in his chest. 
Hm… this feels kind of weird… 
Maybe I just need to go for a swim. He thought 
Paani rushed down to the Launch Bay and went out for a swim on her paddle board, she hoped  it’d clear her mind.
Paani went out to sea, surfing near Mako Island during the sunset. But then, the full moon rose. Paani stared at it as if she was staring into someone’s soul.
They snapped back to reality after being knocked down by wave. 
Paani could feel clenched their hand into a fist, huh?? I don’t think I moved that? 
However, soon his hand was clenched tight. Strong winds began to form, the water became rougher and rougher by the minute. 
I need to stop this! Paani thought to himself, trying to unclench his fist, but he couldn’t. No matter how hard he tried.
A huge boom came from the sky, huge strikes of thunder came from the dark gray storm coulds,  heavy rain pouring down. 
Paani backed away, he had started a huge storm. 
He didn’t know how to stop it!!!
The winds blew faster and faster, it had turned into a cyclone! and Paani was trapped in the eye of it. 
•••
Dashi was in the HQ with Tweak. “Hey Tweak. The storm tracker is picking up some strange activity. This huge cyclone just formed off the coast of Mako out of nowhere-“ Dashi remarked nervously , Tweak spat out her sweet tea “Oh me oh my!” Tweak gasped.
“Dashi, sound the Octo-Alert!” Tweak urged “got it Tweak!” Dashi replied, hitting the Octo-Alert button.
Octonauts! To the Launch Bay!!!!
“What seems to be the problem, Dashi?” Captain Barnacles questioned, him and other Octonauts looked at her nervously. 
“A- a g-giant cyclone formed o-off the coast of M- Mako Island out of nowhere! Dashi stammered “Cyclone Patrick!” Dashi exclaimed. 
“THEY NAMED IT CYCLONE PATRICK?! FUCKIN’ CYCLONE PATRICK?!” Kwazii laughed, everyone gave him a disgusted look. 
“Kwazii! This isn’t a laughing matter!” Dashi scolded, turning to the cheeto colored cat “Sorry Dashi..” Kwazii apologized “Jumpin’ Jellyfish! Paani must’ve looked at the full moon!” Shellington blurted “What does Paani have to do with this?” Captain Barnacles questioned, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh shit. Um. We forgot to tell you but um. Paani became a merperson-“ Tweak answered, Captain Barnacles just gave her a thumbs up in response. He proceeded run his fur throw his paws. 
“Dashi, Tweak, you go take the Octo-Ray and find them.” Captain Barnacles commanded, “aye aye cap!” Tweak saluted. 
“IM GOING AFTER THEM!” Kwazii proclaimed, jumping into the Launch Bay tank. “But Kwazii! It’s dangerous!” Dashi began “you should stay here!” They insisted “I’m going after Paani if you like it or not. He needs me right now.” Kwazii insisted. “We’re going to.” Shellington proclaimed. “Fine…” Dashi sighed.
Dashi and Tweak hovered over in the Octo-Ray. 
“It’s hard to drive through these damn winds…” Dashi frowned. Tweak nodded in agreement. 
“We’re right below ya Dashi.” Kwazii meowed, “got it!” Dashi replied, giving the cat a thumbs up. He then hung up on her.
Kwazii lead Shellington and Peso to the cyclone. 
“Kwazii what  do you think you’re doing?!” Shellington gasped “Saving me partner.” Kwazii said sternly. 
“Where do you think they are?” Peso questioned “I think she’s in the middle” Shellington guessed 
“Paani!!” Kwazii called out “g-go a-away…” He heard a faint stammer in a horse and nasally tone.
“Shiver me whiskers! Paani is trapped in the middle!!!” Kwazii yelled, his voice muffled by the strong winds. 
The waters began to soften, so did the winds.
It had become calm enough to where Kwazii could swim through. 
Kwazii pushed himself through those rough, horrible waters. Until he was able to reach Paani. Kwazii swam over and placed a comforting paw on the macaque’s shoulder “it’s okay matey, we’re here for you!” Kwazii assured, Paani gave Kwazii a glance of uncertainty.
He had eyeliner running down his face, Poor thing….Kwazii thought with a frown. 
Shellington and Peso swam close. 
“It’s okay, we understand how you feel right now.” Shellington reassured, Shellington noticed the moon start to set, making way for the rising sun.
I- I can’t do this a-anymore. 
Then. After one last huge blot of thunder came from the clouds, Paani collapsed his hand unclenching, and Kwazii catching him in his paws. 
“PAANI!” Kwazii screeched, this was like the “Kwazii burnt Mako” incident all over again! But this time, Paani was the one whose powers got out of control, not Kwazii! 
Peso rushed Paani to the Octoray, Kwazii was sobbing like a baby, Shellington was comforting him.
“It’s okay Kwazii. Everything will be okay.” Shellington soothed as he stroked the cat’s back, Kwazii sobbed even more. 
“But what it’s not.” Kwazii croaked “trust me, Paani is in good hands, or shall I say, flippers. Peso will take good care of them.” Shellington assured, handing Kwazii a tissue.
“T-thanks Shellington.” Kwazii sniffled, blowing his nose. 
He felt like he’d been punched in the stomach, this is your fault. He blamed himself.
•••
Paani awoke, what happened last night? They asked themself glancing around the sick bay what the hell were they doing here?
Hm… that was a weird dream. Paani thought 
Paani got up walked into the HQ. 
“I had such a weird dream last night.. I had started a cyclone.” Paani recalled, then directing his attention to the television screen. 
“Mysterious cyclone “Patrick” formed out of nowhere on the coast of Mako Island. It is not known what caused cyclone “Patrick” the news reporter said in a thick Australian accent.
Paani felt his stomach drop.
“Y-you mean it w-wasn’t a dream? It was all real? Paani began to tear up. 
“Hey it’s alright pancake!” Kwazii mrrped, pulling Paani into a hug. 
“No. It’s not. I could’ve put everyone in serious danger!” Paani cried in Kwazii’s shoulder. 
“M-my parents s-should’ve named me “Paani Shithead Macaque.” Paani sobbed into Kwazii’s Spice Girls shirt. 
“Matey. Do not fucking say that about yourself.” Kwazii meowed sternly.  “You are not a shithead.” He added.
Paani pulled himself away from Kwazii. 
“I FORMED A CYCLONE!!! ITS NOT FUCKING OKAY!!! I SHOULD’VE KNOWN BETTER!” Paani wailed “IM SUCH AN IDIOT!” Paani grunted. “Well you’re my idiot” Kwazii mewed softly, hoping it’d make Paani feel better.
It didn’t… 
“No. It’s not okay Kwazii. I could’ve hurt someone!” Paani sobbed, he started to sound like a broken record. His thick eyeliner running down his face into a black river of tears. 
“But you didn’t! Everyone was safe in the end!” Kwazii assured. 
“I know. I just feel so guilty. This whole situation could’ve been easily avoided..” Paani sniffled “is it okay if I step away for a moment?” Paani asked “of course pancake, take all the time you need.” Kwazii answered softly, “I’ll be here if you need me!” They added.
Paani went to Kwazii’s room and cried into Kwazii’s pillow. 
Tunip and the vegimals could hear the sound of sobbing from Kwazii’s room “what should we do?” Tominnow questioned “hm… maybe we should bake some fish biscuits for Paani? That might cheer them up.” Grouber suggested, the others nodded in agreement.
They rushed to the kitchen, Pikato, Halibeet, and Sharchini were in the kitchen with Shellington.
“Howdy dad, we’re gonna bake some of ‘em fish biscuits for Paani. We heard him sobbing and we thought it might cheer him up” Codish explained “Aww, that’s very nice of you” Shellington smiled. 
The Vegimals got to work, soon they were finished mixing the ingredients and the fish biscuits were ready to bake.
Tunip popped them in the oven.
Paani could smell something sweet coming from the kitchen is that fish biscuits? He questioned, sniffing a few times.
It was!
Paani jolted out of bed and rushed down to the kitchen “Howdy Paani. We heard you weren’t feelin’ too good so we decided to make you some fish biscuits. We hope you like ‘em” Codish smiled “aww thanks Vegimals.. I appreciate it very much.” Paani smiled back, getting a warm fuzzy feeling inside. 
•••
A few days later
The news of the crazy cyclone Patrick had spread like wildfire. Everyone was talking about it. 
Paani and Ryla sat on the dock drinking grape juice. Meanwhile Kwazii and Shellington were playfully fighting and Peso was eating his lunch. 
“Hey Paani. Did ya hear about cyclone Patrick? Absolutely crazy how it formed out of nowhere!”
“Oh um… about that… I need to tell you something.”
“Oh? What is it?
“I formed cyclone Patrick…”
“How?”
“Oh um- this is gonna sound really weird but- I went to this place on Mako Island became a merperson- just like Peso, Kwazii and Shellington but he became a merman at those Irish Sea Caves-“ 
“Oh- well I’m glad everything didn’t get out of hand with the cyclone!”
Paani nodded in agreement. 
••• 
Paani was in Canada with Bud, who he kind of saw as a younger sibling, he hadn’t known him for that long but he still felt that way.
Everyone had mentioned Cyclone Patrick. It was almost inescapable. Everyone they’d spoken to since the event had asked them if they’d heard about it. 
When Paani was down in Florida with Dashi, Tweak and Ranger Marsh, Ranger Marsh had asked him about it. 
“Hey Paani, lad, did you hear about cyclone Patrick in Australia? Sounds like something that would’ve happened  here in Florida.” 
When Paani was chatting with Tracker in the DMs, Tracker asked them about it. 
“Hey Paani, did you hear about cyclone Patrick ? Natquik told me about it”
When Paani was chatting with Pearl, even shementioned it. 
“Did you hear all about Cyclone Patrick? Shellington told me about the crazy cyclone!” 
Bud and Paani had been chatting as if they were siblings. Wow.. Their like the little sibling I never had. Paani thought to themself.
“Did you hear about cyclone Patrick? I heard about the crazy story on the news today.” Bud mentioned why does everyone keep bringing up cyclone Patrick wtf Paani thought with a sigh.
“Is something wrong?” Bud asked, noticing Paani’s sigh. “Oh um… can I tell you something?” Paani sighed again “yeah sure go for it!” Bud said.
“Well um.  You know how Peso, Shellington and Kwazii are um… merpeople right?” Paani began, Bud nodded in response “well um..” Paani paused for moment this is such an awkward conversation… He thought “basically I’m also a uh.. fish.” Paani finally said.
“Oh cool!” Bud grinned well that went smoothly Paani thought relieved.

Yandere!Lilia Vanrouge × Reader
Warnings: Mild yandere, Delusional behavior, Obssesion.
Note: Uhm this was a draft I made from last year I forgot to post lmao. Anyways- Ngl this is more like angst tho :'D forgive my shit writing this was a year ago :'D
Tumblr media
Lonely dewdrops trickled as the curtains of dark grey skies covered the heavens above. The smell of petrichor and damp nature was faint yet comforting. Under the thick linen sheets was a painfully familiar embrace. Arms that tightly held your waist as if you were to fly away at any moment.
The warmth you shared in the tight embrace was intoxicating so to say. You felt like giving it all up and melt beneath this man's arms. Drowsiness invaded your mind like an addicting drug. You can't help but feel your eyelids grow heavy and melt in the midst of the fae's arms.
Not long after, the figure shifted his position and burried his face in the small crook of your neck. His soft raven locks tickling the corners of your ears.
You know yourself what you're doing is wrong, but the bittersweet temptation continues to drag you in and simply accept his gestures and advances. 'Just a little bit more' you thought.
His lithe fingers makes their way to intertwine it between yours. He held your hands tightly, but your heart simply ached more for his touch. His lips that kissed your skin gently was such a temptation per say. Yet... his fleeting touches was painfully addicting like poison, but just a little more won't hurt right? Just a few more moments to bask under his warmth...
Tumblr media
"Can't we just go back to what we used to be, my love?"
A pained gaze meets yours. If you were to be honest, it felt like it would be alright to give up everything and go back to lilia's arms, but you simply can't...
"After doing all of the things you did? Why should I trust you again Vanrouge?"
You held back your tears as you remember the vivid memories of a broken mirror shattered on the ground. Your last hope to come back home was gone within seconds as the glass touched the ground and broke to pieces. Everything was long gone, but a pair of ruby eyes gazed at your soul as it was reflected in the broken pieces of glass.
"Now now, I didn't know you'd grow this cold my dear, but I was just doing that so we could be together, no?"
The fae chuckled to himself. His pale fingers held your chin up to look back at him with your glossy eyes. A lonely tear fell on your cheek. It was a pathetic look enough to make you look so pitiful.
"Don't cry now my love, you know it yourself right? You love me too right? Why don't you be a doll and stay by my side, no?"
The pale moonlight illuminated the fae's face, quite the ethereal scenery enough to make you dizzy. The sound of the gentle rain accompanied with lilia's lullaby was hypnotizing so to say. Yet the fleeting touches simply made you crave for more even if its poison.
Tumblr media
It's quite ironic if you think about it. Lilia seemed to love the idea of you more than he loves you. Yet you simply can't help to keep holding onto the fantasy of him truly loving you. But alas, a rotten obsession won't lead to a beautiful ending, no?
'Just a little bit more' you thought.
"Let's make this easy and not make me hurt you along the process alright?"
As the cold wind blew, your consciousness slowly fades away as the dizzying warmth under the linen sheets and an embrace of a certain someone held you tight. If only you were to wake up to the old times when Lilia seemed like he truly loved you, yet all the sweet nothings are a mere dream and fantasy to mask his underlying obsession.
"I won't let you escape me, dear."
Tumblr media
Note: no words... its like 8am I haven't slept yet sighhhhh. Oh yeah but im back? Time to re-learn writing sighhhh. OH BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS EVEN IF IT'S EW THO༎ຶ‿༎ຶ♡

“come on kiddos, it’s time for bed!”
you ushered your seven and three-year-old into their shared bedroom, your lips stretched wide into a grin at their playful giggles.
“goodnight, mum,” your daughter, seven, hummed as you tucked her into bed while your younger son climbed clumsily into his beside.
you dropped a kiss on her forehead and turned to your cheeky son, who still had that smile of his. you give him a huge smooch on the cheek. “goodnight, you.”
with both children wrapped up in their sheets comfortably, you flicked off the light switch and closed the door quietly behind you.
a sigh couldn’t help but escape your lips as you shuffled your way back into your room to finish up some work, but before you did, a certain glow caught your attention.
the kitchen was dark all around when you entered, lit scented candles dotted around the table and the only light source in the room.
the flames danced in the breezy air of your apartment, lighting up not only the bouquet of lisianthus on the table but your husband, joshua, who sat on one of the chairs, staring wistfully at the flowers. a glass of wine sat solitarily in front of him, the stain on the rim a sign that he had already started to drink without you.
the beat of your heart was now apparent as ounces of dread slowly settled into the pit of your stomach.
you forgot.
“are we not important anymore?” he began, taking the glass in between his fingers.
“what do you mean?” you remained standing, feeling as if the soles of your feet had been embedded into the hardwood of the floor.
“did it completely slip your mind, or am i now the least of your concerns?” continuous rhetorical questions, or rather, questions of accusations, escaped his beautiful mouth.
you could kiss it a thousand times and still, your need for them to be on your skin would never be satiated.
“jihyun and—“
“do not bring our kids into this,” joshua was painfully serene, like the calm before the storm; the storm in which you could see in the depths of his eyes. “you forgot we’ve been married for ten years.”
you cursed under your breath.
how did you forget?
bringing the subject of work into the argument was pointless now, it only seemed like an excuse.
“josh—“
“i was waiting all day,” he finally shifted his almond-shaped eyes to you. “for you to run into my arms, to kiss me, hell, even to just smile at me. but no, you didn’t even look at me once.”
joshua, on a break from being a performer, occupied himself with taking care of the children and the apartment. he had plenty of time on his hands, his heart full with a sincere wish to spend it with the people he loved most in the whole universe.
you, a full-time working mother, had recently just been promoted in your company. with new responsibility came heavy workload and a brand new project dumped into your control. it was overwhelming, and it blinded a tremendous amount of aspects in your life, including your husband himself.
you realised you didn’t even meet joshua’s eyes as he got them ready for school this morning, while he adjusted their jackets and shouldered their little backpacks to carry it for them, knowing fully what date it was.
you simply kissed your daughter and son goodbye before you took half a litre of coffee with you out the door without uttering a single word of goodbye to your lover.
now, as you stared at him from where you stood, you could feel the effects of neglecting him for the longest time hurling back to you like a tidal wave.
there was no trace of a smile, of the crinkle of his eyes, of the lines that would form at the ends of his eyes that deepened over time and with age.
the expression that stared back at you was foreign, stoic.
there‘s a saying: you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
you knew it wasn’t gone, but the absence of his smile made your heart sink into the bottomless pit of your regret. it was a horrifying feeling.
suddenly, you wanted to do all the things he said you didn’t, smile at him, run into his arms, kiss him.
“i’m sorry,” you almost lost the capability of speaking, your voice small as you gathered enough courage to take more steps towards him. “i really am. i’m such a fool.”
he stood up, his height casting a dim shadow over you. the plastic of the wrapper crunched in his hands when he extended his arm, offering the bouquet of your favourite flowers in your favourite colour to you. joshua could never forget that.
you took them with shaky hands, eyes looking everywhere but into the abyss of his caramel eyes.
“you are not a fool, my love,” he engulfed you in his strong arms, a familiar place, a place you missed often and could call home. a place you almost forgot was your home. “you are my wife,” he kissed away the single tear of remorse that escaped the duct in the corner of your eyes. “my beautiful, strong wife.”
your head on his chest, your fingers fisted in the material of his shirt, you held on to each other for what seemed like the first time in a long time. his woody scent had the effect of waves crashing against the beach and echoes of seagulls in the distance—it calmed you immensely.
everything about joshua calmed you.
it felt like you could remain in his arms forevermore, until the morning sun rose and the lisianthus wilted in the grip of your hands.
“i love you,” you told him, quietly, setting the bouquet aside to sink into his touch.
these were the words he wanted and needed to hear the most, to reassure himself that you did still love him the way he loved you, to make sure that work had not completely overtaken your senses.
“i love you too.”
fingers rubbing your back in soothing strokes, joshua kissed your temple, then the tip of your nose. to reach your lips he had to angle his head in the slightest, long eyelashes fluttering as he reached his destination.
a hum of satisfaction escaped your lips, conjoined with his, knowing fully that you didn’t deserve it yet you savoured every minute. your arms were secure around his neck, not a millimetre of space to be seen between your torso and his.
as joshua pulled away to gasp for air, he reached into his pocket for his phone, tapping away at the screen. half a second later, music began to play from the speakers he had installed on the corners of the ceiling.
your husband enjoyed music, thrived in it. it was his natural element, his escape from everything and life itself.
“dance with me, darling,” he whispered as louis armstrong blew the first few notes of his trumpet, a light melody that entranced your step into aligning with your lover’s, barefoot in the kitchen, head on his shoulder.
“remember in college,” you pondered, reminiscing the iridescent days of your youth. “when we would dance around the communal kitchen in the refrigerator light?”
“when i snuck out of the dorms to visit you half-past two in the morning?” the smile on his face reminded you of how much you truly longed for it, like a breath of fresh air after being suffocated for so long.
he grinned at you like you were back in the heart of a bustling city, of seoul, the thrill of the unexpected running through your veins like a drug. you found an impossible love, forcing the rebellion, suppressed deep enough in yourself until you forgot about it, to resurface again as you met him.
you had never felt as daring as you did when you first saw him.
“we lost so much sleep,” the airy sound of your chuckle urged joshua to tug you closer, dancer feet still in time with the rhythm of jazz buzzing in the background.
“first college, then jihyun,” the way in which your daughter’s name left his lips made the knot in your heart twist, your entire being captivated by his voice.
he twirled you around, stars—no, the entire galaxy—sparkling in those brown eyes as you spun to meet him once more.
“and jiyoung,” the sound of your youngest son’s name elicited a permanent smile from your husband, perfect teeth peeking through.
“i don’t regret a single second of it,” he said, mellifluous in tone, filled with content.
“i don’t either,” sometimes, the possibility of being in love for so long was a question to you that you could not answer.
magic doesn’t exist, but it did then, in that night, surrounded by wicks, aglow in passion, organic scent of lemongrass wafting in the air.
jazz-driven steps, hungry gazes and the brush of his fingers under your sweater made you wonder if you were back in the era of your faded youth. it was as if you were reliving each night of delirium once again, of heated sex in the darkness of your compact bedroom, of muted grunts and the slapping of skin that reverberated off the chipped walls.
joshua lifted the sweater up your head, up your arms. the music, transitioning ever so timely from armstrong to the weeknd, your eyes widening and your hips swaying ever so slightly to the bass. his grin twisted into a smirk, eyes narrowing in desire and the previous storm behind them calming into a wave of dirty intentions.
“take the week off for me, love,” kisses were peppered down your neck to your collarbone as he whispered each word into your skin.
you promised him you would, and you did.

persona 5 strikers thoughts and feelings
This is going to be a long post. Like, the type of post you’d only really have time to read when you’re trying to sleep but you’re not ready to be unconscious yet so you’re just looking for something to do to spend your time with minimal effort. 
So in 2018, a masterpiece was born into the world: Into the Spider-verse was released and it was amazing—it’s honestly the best spiderman movie we have without a doubt, and it’ll be very far into the future before Spider-verse is beaten as the best spiderman movie. Them’s the facts. Then in 2019, Spider-man: Far From Home was dropped. It’s a great movie! Great characters, great continuation of who these characters are and works fantastic as a continuation of a story. It’s really hard trying to take the torch of a previous movie (or in Marvel’s case, juggling twenty something movies) and come up with a new movie that both works on its own, as well as being the next step in this series of films. Thus, with that idea in mind, I think it’s kind of unfair to judge into the spiderverse and far from home, because these are two movies with two completely different objectives in mind. 
Okay, so this is still a persona 5 strikers post, I promise, but the idea is the same: Persona 5 could basically do whatever it wanted—new story, new characters, new everything, and it’s just plain old awesome. However, Persona 5 strikers did not have that sort of freedom. It was bound to the original game, and it had its own rules and stuff it had to keep intact, characters they had to work with, and on top of that, it had to justify its existence as a sequel (lets pretend money doesnt exist lmfao). 
SO, the big question is: did it do that? Did it justify its existence? 
And my answer: holy fuck did it ever do that
I came into this game knowing the extreme bare minimum. I knew there was someone named Sophia, and i knew there was roadtrip, and i knew there were Personas. That’s my knowledge of it before i played it on the Switch.  I should also clarify like, early on, that i was not expecting anything from this game. At all. I was the world’s biggest cynic of this game—if you scroll down my p5s tag far enough, youll just see me complaining about a game that hasn’t even come out yet. I was fully expecting to have this be a Waifu show, and any male character that isn’t Akira to just be shoved aside like some kind of nerd in a high school hallway, and i have never been more pleased to be wrong. In fact, i actually owe it an apology, because of how fucking rude i was for no reason!!! Because this game deserves everything to be honest. 
Persona 5 strikers is, frankly, insane. Insane in the sense that it got to pull shit off that just would never have existed in the original game, because the original game is scared. It had to be as impressive as possible and garner as much attention as possible. Strikers does not have that problem—every single person who bought that game does not need to be convinced that persona 5 is a good game. They already played it. That means Atlus can just fuck around and have a good time, and man did they have a good time. There’s still scenes that still shock me if i think about it too hard, because i’m used to atlus having to follow this sort of rule set when it comes to persona 5 (or any of the main games im assuming, but i havent played them.) And on top of that, there’s still shit that’s Atlus Trademarked Branded in a good way. The style of story of story telling, and revealing the mystery that is so integral to what p5 is, is still there. 
So, to make this even a little bit comprehensible, i will make a list! 
First of all, What is this game?
In short, this game is an OVA of an anime. It’s bonus side content that has one thing in mind: to showcase these lovable characters more by putting them in fun situations. That’s it, and it is just phenomenal. That was the main point of, i’d say, like forty hours of the game. It’s just fun times with fun characters. 
But to get deeper of what i think is happening, or what they were thinking during the development, is that this is a second opportunity. Persona 5 (as we all know) had a lot of problems, and we were not quiet about those problems. We yelled it all out, made posts, made complaints on every social media platform ever. And Atlus heard all of them, and Strikers is a way to mitigate those mistakes. Aside from being a fun OVA, Strikers also works to be a deeper exploration of these characters—more specifically, the characters that did not receive much in the original game. Creating this sequel is having the ability to redo what they felt (or to be more specific, we felt) in the original game while adding new ones. I will get to that in a second.  
The format of the game 
Absolutely brilliant to throw them on a road trip. P5V already forced us to experience Shibuya for 200+ hours, and im so glad that they didn’t do that again. Going from town to town, making us experience these new places alongside our favorite characters is so good, and it just makes sense. It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s actually shockingly good. But one thing i do want to talk about early on is the way the story unfolds and the villains that they use, and what they do with it because it’s very interesting. 
So as we explore japan and stuff, we encounter jails, and with those jails comes an antagonist. This antagonist works to be a parallel to one of our characters. That character will find it in their hearts to feel bad for the antagonist, because the antagonist could have been them had the original game not happen. At first I thought all of the thieves were gonna get an antagonist, and i was really hyped for the ryuji one. And then came to hour forty of the game where i realized “yeah that’s not gonna happen. There’s just not enough time.” And i was right, and the game ended. But i am not salty at all, honestly, because the people who got a direct antagonist were: Ann, Yusuke, and Haru. (we wont count zen and sophie). 
Is there a trend??? Yes. these are all characters in the original game that have received the worst treatment by atlus. The three of them are basically cast aside the minute they finished their original arc, and its horrible! BUT that’s why this is the path that atlus chose for them—to give them more depth, and screentime, and a way to show their inner self. That isn’t to say that the ones who aren’t those three (makoto, futaba, mona, akira, ryuji) didn’t get anything. Futaba still has her thing at the end with ichinose, and she was very prevalent and animated during the rest of the game. Mona and Akira have to be a focal points, that’s just the nature of the game. The other two though, I will talk about in depth in a second.  
Makoto
Y’all i poke fun at shumako fans sometimes cause its kind of easy and fun, but i honestly love makoto. In my very first playthrough of p5 (my first ever jrpg game, first persona game, i had no idea what i was doing), i had only maxed out two characters: ryuji and makoto. And i know she had a lot of screentime and love in the original game which is great, but i truly felt like she was dissed in this game. Her only roles were
A driver
Someone to tell them “we don’t have a choice. Let’s keep going and see where this takes us.” (seriously, if you replay this game, you will see how much she does this)
Idk, i just wish she had more to do, especially compared to how much love they gave the other characters. 
But let’s talk about some of the new characters! 
Zenkichi
Damn you atlus. Damn you and your insistence at bringing in cop characters. I was fully on board with hating zenkichi, i was fucking ready for it. I was convinced that there was nothing they could do convince to like zenkichi. I was immune to their copaganda. 
And then i ended up loving him, which makes me sad a little bit. I didn’t realize how desperate i was to have an adult who has a persona. Someone who wants the world to change just as much as they do, while still having that aspect of them that makes them adult. Like??? As someone who is technically an adult, its a breath of fresh air. An adult. Who fights. For justice. Using a persona. And god i love akane so much, and her obsession with the thieves (that scene is probably in my top ten fave scenes of the game). Also what i loved about zenkichi is that he fucking hates the cops!! He hates the system of the cops!! And thats why i actually really started to love him!! Because i thought it was atlus saying that the systematic problem of the police cannot be solved by one person, and zenkichi threw away his badge. I actually cried at that part!! 
But then he became a cop again, and i was just :/ but as a character, i really love him to bits and would love to do a study on him, or at least use him as an outside pov. But! i absolutely love his persona, since im a les miserables fan hehe
Sophia 
she’s probably my favorite new aspect of the game. I was ready to not like her—again, i just suck like that, lmfao—and when i saw her, i was scared that she was just another waifu. I mean, she was very cute after all. But then as the game went on, i thought she was a little too cute. And even further into the game, i finally slapped myself in the face and realized oh my god shes not a waifu. Shes a sister. 
That blew my mind, im ngl to you. A female character that isn’t supposed to be romanced? By jove, what a miracle! 
And she…is an amazing character. Im sorry, i just love her so much. I love her so much that she  probably ranks as my fifth or sixth favorite character which is surprising even to me. Everything about her is delightful and invigorating. She’s funny??? Her comedic timing is amazing, and she has such chemistry with the rest of the team. She’s actually useful to the plot, and while her character design is a little too on the nose for me in terms of cuteness (i mean, good god she’s wearing oversized sweater to show how cute and tiny she is, and her hair has literal hearts in it), she is absolutely lovable. 
But what i actually really wanna gush about for a second is sophia at the last stage of the game. You get the idea, i dont really like to get excited over things, so at this point i figured that there was nothing this game could do to shock me. 
And then sophia had a persona awakening. 
Like. holy fuck did i yell. I didnt realize what was happening until the music had already kicked in. and its just so fucking smart!!! Sophia??? The ai?? With no heart?? gOT A PERSONA???? AWAKENING??? BECAUSE SHE LEARNED WHAT THE HEART IS AND THE PASSION THAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO GET A PERSONA??? I started crying honestly, because it was just so smart. And looking back on it now, its obvious!! Of course it would lead to this, it only made sense that the culmination of her character arc leads to her getting a persona, nothing else would have been as good. Also, her voice actor is just amazing?? When she was talking to ichinose at the end, i actually got incredibly emotional because of the line reads. Its just so spot on and it really captures the essence of sophia.
Muah. five stars Atlus. You got me. 
Ryuji <3!!!!
Oh man. Oh boy. Okay. so where do i start. 
Yall know i love him. Hes probably my favorite fictional male character of all time, and he is the one i was the absolute most cynical about in this game. I was expecting literally nothing. Nothing. Like. nothing. I thought he was just gonna keep being used as a joke, or a gag, and he’s gonna be super horny all the time for the other girls and it was gonna make me mad and there was gonna be some insane homophobic/queerphobic jokes in every other scene and i know i was being unfair, but i cant help it. 
And then i played the first two hours of the game, and i cried the entire time. Because ryuji has never been better than he is in this game. Its crazy. 
The ryuji in persona 5 strikers is who ryuji should have been/how he should have been treated this entire time. From the actual funny jokes (for example, the gold bar joke + his reaction to it in the beginning of the game), defending his female friends instead of being the one people need to defend from (natsume arc), and the fact that he was the one to be there with morgana and akira in the very beginning of the game. Its such a small thing that they didnt even need to do, but it was such an integral part of the original game for me, that i just was convinced that nothing like this was going to happen. But then it happened. Its just small stuff like that that could have been overlooked but it wasn’t because this game? Persona 5 strikers? Fucking loves ryuji. 
The actual respect they gave this boy is insane and i wasn't ready for it. Like, they gave the shujin trio lunch, they gave the little charm of the katana when they were in natsume’s jail, and, in my opinion this is the second-best thing that they could have given ryuji is sophia. Ryuji and sophia are the pinnacle of a brother & sister bonding relationship in the game that isn’t akira & futaba. And its really prevalent too?? Small stuff from the beginning of the game (pulling her out of a jail, calling her shorty), but then you have the iconic “shut the fuck up” scene, and that scene was so well characterized and written and voice acted, that somehow him saying “fuck” was the least exciting part of that scene to me. Ryuji is an older brother to her, like its undoubtable, and its only further cemented at the end of the game where Ryuji helps out ichinose because he knows how much sophia cares about her. This game. Love ryuji. And i love. This game. 
You know what else i love? Akiryu. 
Guys. i was fully prepared to starve in terms of akiryu. But theres just. So much of it. I wont get too deep into it, because i think this aspect of the game for me still needs marinate a little bit. Like, what was that last shot when EMMA died and Ryuji walked to approach Akira so they could relish in their victory together?? And the smile from both of them??? What the fuck. That was amazing. Also Joker being saved by Ryuji when he was about to fall from the cliff to save sophia??? WHAT. The LEADER AND HIS RIGHT HAND MAN? WHAT. anyway. If theres anything i want to keep for myself in my own brain, its the akiryu aspect of this game, so i wont talk too much about that part of things (instead, itll probably manifest in fic lmfaooo). 
Sure, there’s tidbits of stuff i dont like that they gave ryuji: sexualizing ann in that one cut scene and making him touch the jails even though it hurts, and i recognize those and frown at them, but for the most part, i am blown away with how they treated him.
Basically, Ryuji has never been better. From the opening of the game with him being the first text message and the one to sling his arm around akira, to the very last cut scene where it was ryuji wordlessly leaving because he’s so confident that they would never be separated for long, this game adores Ryuji and i am so so happy to say that.
The Royal aspect of things
Yeah, i had to talk about this, but itll be a short thing i just wanted to point out. Because the last part of this game...is persona 5 royal. Which is curious. Like taking reality and giving that power to someone else so you dont have to experience suffering anymore? And even like, the final section just looked a lot like the top half of maruki’s palace?? And whats even crazier is that we had a boss fight with sophia, just like how we had a boss fight with sumire? Royal and Strikers have like, the same thesis statement. It’s kind of uncanny.It’s interesting, it’s like atlus came up with these two ideas, and then just decided they liked both of them so much that they just did it twice. I don’t mind though—actually, in terms of how the last Palace/Jails go, i probably like them both about equally. 
Though i did love the final battle in this one more than i did in royal. Splitting into teams?? Thats cool as fuck, and really innovative and i didnt see it coming. It also kicked my ass. A lot. 
Now for the last stretch: the small stuff!
The music — bomb as fuck. In my heart, Daredevil is ranked the same as Rivers. Axe to grind is also amazing, but Daredevil owns me
Akechi — i really debated whether or not to talk about him, but i figured a bullet point should be enough. Im really shocked that he wasnt in this at all. Like not even a name drop. If this is an OVA, and the point of the game is to please the fans, and akechi is arguably the fan favorite character, i was really ready for something. But there was nothing, except for the pancake hallway if that even counts as a reference. Thats it. Thats all i wanted to say about him.
The humour — FUCKING HILARIOUS im convinced that in my fifty hour playtime, five of that is dedicated to me laughing and unable to continue the game 
Akira — so much personality! His lines of dialogue are crazy sometimes (like. Whats up with him saying Ryuji has ‘nice abs’ when they were in bath? Im crazy and even i dont know what the fuck that could mean) 
Battle system — oh my god i almost forgot to talk about this. I love it! I kind of miss the turn based aspect just because i found it very comforting for some reason, but this hack and slash style of gameplay is so invigorating because i do feel like it justifies shit like the baton pass and huge attacks.  This battle system fully encompases how the Phantom Thieves are supposed to fight, you know what i mean?
Anyway, thats my thoughts on strikers. Loved it. Amazing. 9.3/10, wouldve been higher but Konoe’s Jail almost bored me to death. Also im a monster and i didnt do any requests that isn’t a fun one, teehee. As if i play persona 5 for the persona aspect of things.

here’s a personal longass ramble under the cut bc my adhd brain can’t resist extensively elaborating on every thought and experience it has at any point in time!! read if u want ig??
so i recently found out im like partially colourblind - i suspect slight tritanomaly, which basically means
i see pale yellow or blue as white or gray
i have a hard time distinguishing between similar shades of blue and green (like, i cant tell when its more blue or more green or right in the middle)
i have a hard time telling apart similar shades of red/orange/pink/purple/magenta and sometimes orange and yellow
i have a VERY tough time distinguishing dark colours, especially blue and purple
and like,,,, its just been so fascinating and mindblowing that my perception of the world has actually been different all this time and i never noticed??
like, its nothing severe or anything, and i can still function in daily life ofc since its a pretty slight colourblindness, but its just so weird to me that people can just,,,, see stuff that i cant?? or they see it differently??
bc suddenly it makes sense, all those times when like my family/friends teased me or criticised the fact that i couldnt tell whether a shirt was more blue or green, or called me blind whenever i called green blue and i had to pretend i could see it after they pointed it out even tho it just looked blue to me
and it made sense how i, like, couldnt tell the difference between three (apparently) different shades of red eyeshadow?? like ive been told theyre like. noticeably different. and theyre just identical to me
but it feels so weird like,, people can actually see yellow and purple in the rainbow? people can see yellow in the goddamn rainbow??? bc to me its always just been. a white stripe. in the rainbow. and of course logic and common sense tell me that its scientifically impossible for white to be in the rainbow, but it just is for me and i always figured “oh thats how everyone sees it probably, this isnt weird, lets just accept it, yellow must be some mythical colour they put in the rainbow just because”
and like?? people can see purple in it as well??? bc to me its just dark blue with like dashes of magenta??? like, the rainbow, to me, basically looks like
tiny slither of red - hella orange - white stripe lmao - hella green but also kind of aqua?? - ????? - aqua - dark blue - ??? tiny specks of magenta here and there
and then people tell me there is genuinely yellow in the rainbow?? and im supposed to just believe em???
and like its amazing to me how people can just see yellow marker on paper. like. they can read yellow on white without needing an outline. like i can tell its something vaguely yellow but i cannot read it for the life of me, and like they can easily tell when a message on whatsapp’s been read with just a glance, when i have to stare at the little check marks bc the whatsapp blue is so pale that it looks gray to me, and people actually can see the difference between shit like peach and salmon and pink and light red and warmer oranges and people actually know whether cyan is green or blue or equally both while its such an enigma to me like what the FUCK is cyan
and dont even get me STARTED on the magic of ✨accessibility colour filters✨
cause like apple has the option to set a filter for each type of colour blindness, and like, when i put on the tritanopia filter everything is so much bluer and i can actually SEE when someone reads my whatsapp messages by just glancing at it, or i can see that the emojis are actually pretty yellow and not some weird orange?? and like, in one of the group chats im in on whatsapp, one of my friends’ names on there is coloured purple but i always was so convinced it was navy blue and the filter just blew my goddamn mind bc holy shit you’ve been purple all this time????? and i can actually see the purple and yellow stripes in rainbows?? altho ngl the yellow stripe still looks kinda white even with the filter rip
but like. just. its so weird to find out your perception of the world has always been just slightly wrong and it really reminds you how subjective the world really is bc i probably would’ve forever thought the rainbow just had white in it and that my friend was navy blue in that stupid group chat and now im just wondering what other things i might be seeing just slightly off than what they should be
perception is the weirdest goddamn shit

green looks good on you  vinny mauro x reader
+++++++++
Request from @gardenjungle : "If you are taking requests, I would LOVE if you could do an imagine where the reader has a ton in common with Chris (likes hockey and Harry Potter, is a vegan, etc...) so they’re super close, and Vinny is super upset about it because he likes her sooo much and “Chris gets all the girls” ??? Vinny gets no love and you’re one of the only people who writes about him often. I’d also love if you could get a little sexy action in there"
Ngl this is like 1600+ words and i wrote it in like twenty minutes and loved every minute of it. i really hope you like it! i didnt end up adding anything ‘sexy’ but its pretty gratifying to say the least lol.
Song: gold by sleeping with sirens
tag list: @musicsexandpizza69 @svintsandghosts @alilpunkrock @cynic-spirit @theoneandonlykymberlee @ryansitkowskiswifey @joeybarber @thisplace-ishaunted
+++++++++
i rocked back into the couch, laughing at what chris had said. he was sat next to me, very comfortably, as we chatted amongst ourselves. we had been very close friends for a very long time and i was over the moon that he'd invited me to travel with them for this tour as the videographer. not only did i get to expand my portfolio but i also got to connect with my best friend and his band.
"okay but do you remember that one fall at the orchard when you tripped on that apple and ended up face first in the dirt?"
he laughed out and i sent him a shocked expression.
"i thought we agreed to never bring that up!"
i protested, the other guys around us sort of laughing along, them only half paying attention as they played a new video game. their focus was above our heads.
"but it was hilarious. i looked up for a split second and BAM! there you went."
he said loudly, being a little more expressive at the 'bam.' i shook my head at him.
"okay then, if we are ratting each other out about stupid shit weve done,what about that one time you got your hand stuck in the Christmas tree ties on your dads car?"
i said matter-of-factly. his eyes got wide.
"hey! that was an accident and you know it. we couldve taken my whole arm off!"
he said in his defense.
"i thought it was hilarious."
i said sternly back, smiling widely at him. he stuck his tongue out at me, a notion i gladly mirrored. then he grabbed me around the shoulders, pulling me to him. i screamed at the sudden motion, looking to vinny and rick who were sitting across from us for some guidance but they were to into the game.
"you two are too much."
ricky laughed out, looking at ryan for a second as he walked by. chris pulled me closer before licking a stripe up my face.
"ew!"
i said pulling away from him and wiping his saliva off of my face.
"asshole!"
i said, grabbing his face and blowing raspberries into his cheek. he laughed incredulously, pushing me away from him.
"youre nasty."
he said mimicking my notion and wiping his face. i punched his arm lightly before swinging my legs into his lap, him holding them there and looking down at me endearingly.
"so are you."
i said back, shaking my head at him, nose scrunched.
"you know you love me."
he said, bringing his face closer to mine.
"well yeah."
i said back, squinting at him.
"i think im done for tonight."
vinny said suddenly, pausing the game. ricky sent him a look like 'wtf?' and watched him stand.
"im gonna go get some air."
he said and we all watched him walk off the bus.
"that was weird right?"
i asked and they all nodded. i had a good few chances to talk to vinny since tour had started and he seemed like a really cool guy. someone id be lucky to call a close friend by the time tour was over if not something more. part of me felt bad, like chris and i really where too much for him to handle in that moment. but this was how we always were. we practically survived our teens years together, losing touch for a bit but inevitably going back to the way things where when we found each other back.
"you guys mind if i go out there too?"
i asked and they all sort of shrugged at me, chris letting my legs go so i could stand. as i did i leaned down and kissed the top of his head.
"dont miss me while im gone."
i joked and he rolled his eyes at me.
"of course not."
i laughed a little bit as i descended down the stairs, pushing the door open and seeing vinny leaning against the bus.
"you okay?"
i asked softly, walking to him and rubbing my hands together. i had sort of forgotten how cold it had got. it was late fall after all but the bus was so warm and inviting i didnt even think about grabbing a jacket before leaving. i half shivered as i walked closer, his face being illuminated by the street lights outside the venue.
"uh yeah, everything's great."
he said a little condescendingly, kicking his foot into the gravel under him.
"im sorry if we were too much, i guess when we get together we have a tendency to overshare and its not for everyone. but i suppose thats what you get when youre comfortable with someone the way we are."
i tried to defend to him and he let out a short sigh-laugh.
"its no big deal, you guys really like each other. its cool."
i smiled.
"yeah, hes my best friend."
vinny nodded once.
"how long have you guys been together? i dont recall him ever talking about you before."
i drew my brows.
"together?"
i asked and he seemed just as confused as i was.
"look i get it, chris gets all the girls, being the front man and all."
he seemed a little jealous.
"but i dont think he ever mentioned you before tour started and then one day he told us about some girl coming on to film us. but clearly you guys are close so do you have like a, i dont know, like a open relationship type thing?"
i laughed a little bit.
"you think chris and i are dating?"
he half shrugged.
"well yeah, its kinda obvious."
i shook my head and took his hand in mine.
"vinny i can assure you that chris and i are just friends. if anything hes like the brother i never asked for nor wanted but got anyways. but life just does that sometimes."
he looked down at our connected hands and let go of me promptly.
"i guess it just doesnt seem like that."
he said a little hurt. i sighed and leaned against the bus next to him.
"it would be kind of weird to bring it up to him but i like someone else in this band, if you wanted to know."
i said, looking at him a little hopeful he was picking up what i was putting down.
"oh."
he said sadly. i sighed, i guess not.
"yeah, hes super cool, and nice, and ive really enjoyed connecting with him."
i shivered as the wind blew and he finally looked over at me.
"are you cold?"
he asked, ignoring what i had just said. i nodded a little bit, crossing my arms over my chest.
"just a little bit but i ll be fine."
he shook his head at me.
"no way, here."
he said taking his jacket off. at least he had long sleeves on. he placed his jacket over my shoulders, pulling it together in the front.
"thanks vin."
i said as we both returned to our positions against the bus.
"would your new dream guy do that?"
he half joked, i could still hear the venom in his voice. he was absolutely jealous. i thought it was funny because now he was jealous of himself.
"actually yeah."
he scoffed, hiking his foot up on the side of the bus.
"great."
he said looking away from me. i stepped closer and nudged him.
"he would because he just did."
he looked at me and drew his brows together.
"wait you mean?"
he asked, his face turning to that of shock. i nodded.
"god, yes. vin ive had a crush on you since i got here."
i laughed out.
"i didnt think you would like me back and then i realized just now that that was utter bullshit."
he half smiled.
"and whys that?"
he asked a little cocky.
"you were jealous of chris and that has only happened to me a handful of times in my life. once in highschool when my boyfriend said he would break up with me if i didnt stop hanging out with him. once when i graduated college and my then boyfriend accused me of sleeping with him. and right now."
he looked down a little ashamed.
"yeah i guess that wasnt fair of me to do. i just figured since you guys hit it off so fast that you were into him."
i laughed a little bit.
"dont get me wrong i love him with my whole being, but seeing someone go through puberty just does something to your vision of them ya know?"
i asked and he laughed back, nodding.
"okay, well if you really are into me, would it be stepping to far to ask you out?"
he said hopefully and i grinned widely at him.
"i would love that vin."
he sent me a tired smile in the dim street lights.
"may i also be so bold as to ask if i could kiss you?"
i let out a nervous laugh. i was really gonna let that happen huh? i nodded.
"id like that a lot vin."
he stepped closer to me slowly, placing his hand gently against my cheek, running his thumb over it. his hands were rough and calloused from playing the drums so long but i didnt mind. it kind of felt nice. he looked deep into my eyes before leaning down and capturing my lips in his. all of a sudden it felt like home, like this was it, the thing id wanted for so long and never found. his other hand made its way to my waist as he deepend the kiss. i sighed into him, practically melting against his mouth like chocolate left outside in the sun on a hot day. when he pulled away he rested his forehead against mine and smiled like an idiot, one i gladly returned.
"fucking finally."
i heard from behind me, the bus door clicking closed. both of us turned to look, seeing ricky and chris standing there grinning from ear to ear. i had a mad blush splayed across my face now and was thankful that the light was behind me so it would be harder to see.
"how long have you been standing there?"
i demanded, walking to chris and punching his arm. he laughed in pain as he rubbed his arm.
"long enough to see the sparks fly."
he teased, pushing me back. i rolled my eyes at him.
"get your ass back in the bus."
i said opening the door and escorting him back inside. he made kissy noises at me as rick followed him up the stairs. i shook my head and turned around, jumping a little bit at vinnys presence behind me.
"rick had kind of been waiting for that for a while."
he said, looking up at the now closed door. i raised a a brow.
"oh?"
i asked and he sent me a bashful smile, scratching the back of his neck lightly.
"ive been crushing over you for a while too. and being jealous of chris just as long, rick's been pushing me to say something. i guess it just took one last little push."
he shamefully laughed out.
"at least now we're on the same page."
i said before standing on my tip toes and bringing him down to kiss me again, both of his hands going to my waist.
"now come on, im still cold and the bus is much warmer."
i joked and he nodded along.
"agreed."

Hey, you should really pay up now....
.
.
.
.
Cause you can't live in my mind free rent and expected not to pay *insert Taeyong smirk*
(I send it again cause tumblr didn't send it) Fun fact: I actually got into nct because of Shotaro👉👈 and after I learned their names, my bias list changed dramatically until it dissolves into nothing😭😭 but Shotaro and doie still hold a special places in my heart. 😭 But Joyce, you could never know when or who to give CPR to 🤷‍♀️😏 (screw me, I never know how to give CPR tho) but I'm genuinely curious about what will their reaction be if I shoot them with a pick up line. What do you think will their reaction be? 👀👀
Ooooh, I'm actually a fan if bts before they blew up and after the fandom got toxic, I left. I don't stan many groups tho but the main one are Got7 and SKZ and I pick up nct after the two member got added.
And granted, I woke up late today 😭😭😭😭
Plssss let this pass tumblr
-flirty anon.
HI BABE I ANSWERED IT AS SOON AS I GOT IT ): why is tumblr not on our side im so frustrated im so sorry ): ngl i got scared when i saw the first line that i had to pay up,, i was like i have no money w h a t 
omg so you’re a baby nct fan too?? :ooo  i havent been in the fandom for long, but welcome! everyone here is so nice and pretty <3 i love taro he’s my second son hahaha like his mannerisms are timid so i hope he can open up a little more when he feels more comfortable, but i love that cutie sm !! 
haha depending on the member you give a pick up line to, it can go a lot of ways. they could cringe, become flustered, give one back LOL my bet is that taro would be flustered too
OMG ME TOO IVE LOVED THEM SINCE WE ARE BULLETPROOF PT2 hahha its been ..... a long long journey :’) but yes i respect your decision! honestly its just become a natural fade out for me, i still enjoy their music and i still love jimin so much but i dont keep up with them. do you have a bias in got7 and skz?? 
good morning?? good day?? <3

🙃 📚 🌗
@ekstez sent: Hewwo! How about '🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?', '📚 How many layers do you typically use?' and '🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?' 👀
...the fact that you both sent the same stuff kills me ngl lasdngasdf
artist ask meme
🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view?
im a strong 2/3-face-facing-to-my-right advocate for no reason other than “apparently im more used to read mangas rather than western comics so it becomes natural for me to draw my characters facing to my left, because the mangas are read this way”
im not even joking when ppl told me i draw them like this bc of mangas it blew my mind
📚 How many layers do you typically use?
as little as possible, really. one for sketches, one for lineart, one for base color and depending on the levels of shadings and lights i want to use generally i add 5 or more ...more or less 10, more of course if i want to make a big big scene with background and more characters ofc
🌗 Is night or day better for drawing?
late noon to evening. generally i get to focus more in the darker hours than the morning-early afternoon tho

it’s me & i’m here for round fuckin’ two , friends . this time i bring you resident GOLDEN BOY . . . a whole 6′1 of soft boy energy . . . floppy overgrown curls . . . king of talking - your - way - out - of - everything . . . retired hockey player . . . a man of Many Talents , of which the most astounding is his ability to look like he’s got it all together when , in fact , he does not ! under the cut , you’ll find a lil more about him . . . & if you wanna plot hmu @ 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣#9956 on discord or pop into my ims here !! 
𝑩 𝑨 𝑪 𝑲 𝑮 𝑹 𝑶 𝑼 𝑵 𝑫 .
dillon , texas born & raised . on the outskirts of town is a ranch that is enough to house the beckham family: mom, dad, and all eight beckham children . beck is the second oldest , with one older sister , four younger sisters , and two younger brothers . . . not necessarily in that order . 
mother , sophia mattheson - beckham is a lawyer based in austin working with the ACLU , and father , michael beckham has a small private practice in dillon working as a pediatrician . they weren’t home often , but when they were , they spent as much time with the kiddos as possible . it’s just . . . they were so rarely home that it really didn’t matter. 
with the beckham name, though, comes the pressure to be SOMETHING GREAT , and that’s something that’s been a part of beck’s life since . . . he can remember . little league & kindergarten grades were always taken a little too seriously , and it didn’t help that his older sister was a shining example of perfection . 
growing up it was hard not to like him. he was quiet for the most part , but goofy when he wasn’t . there was a little extra charm about him that just gave him an all around magnetic pull . kids wanted to be his friend and he wanted to be theirs . he fit in , but around home , he was the odd man out . beck was always a little more interested in sports rather than math or music rather than reading . it wasn’t to say he wasn’t smart , it just kind of –– bored him?? where his family was v
there was give and take with beck–– the golden boy of dillon but the black sheep of the family . he could play hockey if he kept his grades up. he could take guitar if he was also on student government and model u.n.. his parents would applaud him on his grades but never cared to hear him play; they’d show up for debates but rarely ever saw a hockey game. it was touch and go, his relationship with them, and it still is.
DESPITE IT ALL though, you wouldn’t catch him complaining. he bore the crown of homecoming king his senior year and never went to a dance without a date. teachers loved him, so did his coaches. he found a best friend in one cameron sloane –– ( because of course he did ) –– when the sloanes moved to dillon , and they were an unstoppable kind’a duo on and off the ice.
when it came time to pick a college, he really . . . had his pick of the lot. coulda gone anywhere, but there were roughly six reasons , all with the same last name , that kept him close to home. his parents even agreed that if he went in as pre-med, they would pay for the whole thing . . . and even make time to watch him play hockey. 
things were good for a long while, until they weren’t. you can usually see the stars on the outskirts of dillon, but one night, his sophomore year, you couldn’t. storm clouds covered ‘em up, and he tried his damndest to get cameron to stick around a celebratory party until it passed, but sloanes are stubborn and there was no changing his mind. 
cam passing away was like losing a brother, and he spent countless hours pacing in a hospital waiting room . . . hoping for good news and never getting it. beck had never known loss like that, and it knocked him into a bit of a tailspin . he quit hockey and didn’t register for school the next year . he spent a lot of time at a family residence in austin and even more time drinking . for the most part . . . he kind of DISAPPEARED , losing himself in the process for a good nine months.
they say it takes a village to raise a kid, and it took a village to drag this one out of a spiral. his parents. his siblings. his friends. and eventually . . .  dillon’s football coaching staff. a loud knock on the door from coach buchanan and a swift kick in the ass from coach sloane, a man who knew the kid almost as well as he’d known his own son. come work for us, they told him . . . and it was a way to get him back on track under a watchful eye that. wasn’t quite as critical as his parents
so that’s where we are now . . . back at dillon, a year behind, and working with both the football and cheerleading team as a physical trainer, playing a heavy hand in making sure both teams are the best conditioned in the state of texas. his grades are looking up, and he’s still on the fast track for med school, much to his –– and his parents’s –– surprise. 
the beckhams don’t talk about his little stint of a spiral. no one in dillon does . . . unless in tones of hushed whispers alongside judgmental looks. beck doesn’t mind it too much ,though . . . even takes it as a challenge 
𝑷 𝑬 𝑹 𝑺 𝑶 𝑵 𝑨 𝑳 𝑰 𝑻 𝒀 . ( i’m getting tired so this gon be ugly )
you want inspo?? i’ll give ya inspo!! richard campbell gansey the third ( dick 3 babiiiie ) is my main inspo for beck. you’ll also find a lil bit of jim halpert, a lil bit of rob maclanahan from miracle ( even tho he w as a real person too shhh ), and *insert big eyed emoji here* grizz from the society 
ever since he can remember, there’s been pressure on this kid to be something great . . . so he feels like if he has the capability to do something, he has to do it. . . there’s no choice in the matter. a lot of this stems. from his parents, but he’s also really just . . . overly critical of himself sometimes
boy is a fucking PARADOX okay bc sometimes . . . . with the way he talks. . . . he accidentally puts his damn foot in his mouth . he’s smart so occasionally comes off as condescending , but he’s . . . incredible in conversation with people he needs to impress because he’s hella charming
that said... this quote is REALLY important and REALLY summative of beck: “Gansey had always felt as if there were two of him: the Gansey who was in control, able to handle any situation, able to talk to anyone, and then, the other, more fragile Gansey, strung out and unsure, embarrassingly earnest, driven by naive longing.” –– let’s dive into that!! when he feels like he’s got a sense of control of the things around him, when he’s in his element or in his comfort zone, when he’s feeling confident , the boy is a force. he can talk you and anyone else out of any situation, and he has. he can make friends with anyone put in front of him, and he has. when beck is ON . . . he is on . . . but it’s a bit surface level because when he’s not wearing the crown of GOLDEN BOY and he’s . . . vulnerable . . . or unsure . . . or stressed . . . he tends to put that foot of his in his mouth and spit. out whatever it is he’s thinking. he’s honest to a fault in this sense, and he’s hopeful beyond compare. 
an introvert. . . . can CHARM u but doesn’t want to because honestly that is so draining and he’d much rather be at home. the popular type but only has a few friends that are really really close to him
loyal to a fault . . . will give you 392847 chances that you don’t deserve .. fool me once shame on you ! fool me twice shame on me! fool me three time what the fuck bro now ur just taking advantage of me 
very . .. calm and even tempered.  he’s a mediating type and like . . would rather find a conflict resolution than sWING u feel me
he’s cute.  .. . and. people love him but .  . . despite it all, he really doesn’t let that go to his head?? the boy was raised to believe you had to earn things and he’s just. idk . . .. humble king
eloquent as fuck ( lol good luck @ me writing that shit )
quick witted and very sharp
probably a lawful good type ngl :\
Does Not Do Well.With Change. when his older sister left dillon to go to notre dame??? boy damn near blew a gasket how dARE SHE go that far away!!! 
v close with his sibs . .. . activate Dad Mode. he loves all of them equally and definitely does not at all favor the 10 y/o baby brother of the family or his sister closest in age, who is also a student at dillon. doesn’t favor them ONE BIT 
u want a vibe for the beckhams??? “ the beckhams were courtiers and kings . when there was no castle to invite them, they built one” ( we stan ONE weird author lady named maggie)
insomnia!! the boy nEVER SLEEPS1! always thinking. always planning what’s next. gotta go gotta go gotta go.
kind of .. . a hopeless romantic :\ dated the same girl for most of high school but when she fucked off to ole miss she broke up with him in a text. so that .. . . . .. went well for him ..... still a dumb bitch tho and would love to hold ur hand
wire rimmed glasses, wool sweaters, light colored hoodies, distressed denim, cuffed pants, :\ chelsea boots :\
phobia of bees. there’s literally no reason for this other than my own, personal, geeked out pleasure
prank king
Smart Jock Type
plays guitar to relieve stress and you bet baby’s got some pipes here u go 
literally nothing like nicholas scratch DO NOT call him daddy
tall and doesn’t know what to do with all the extra limb like .  . . . . the fuck
will push you to your personal best in any conditioning circumstance
okay I THINK THAT’S ALL . . .. i’m a big fan of basic plots that kinda ebb and flow with chemistry BUT!! gimme the basics man . . . a roommate . . . a past hookup or two . . . some spicy friendships or . . . fRENEMIES even u know the drill

“fruit boy?”
Tumblr media
ten? the boy whom hates fruits w a fuming flame? what happens when he meets the girl who works at the local juice bar? hMMmm (warning: this is about to be the most cheesiest+extrA thing ever but omg bUT IDC LESGOOO LOL)
✭ ten is a man who despises fruits more than anything in his life
✭ this is literally fact #6 in the 1st chapter of the FACT BOOK
✭ i mean everybody and their momma’s know that ten despises fruits, he can drink fruit juice, but if it’s raw fruit ….. bye sweetie!
✭ he was the kid that always picked fries instead of fruits for the side in his happy meal
✭ and tbh, he’ll always be like that at heart
✭ but his best friend johnny literally is the opposite
✭ kiddo who would always order the fruits, and even snatched the fruit in other’s happy meal when they weren’t looking, the fries who ?? kid
✭ and tbh, he’ll always be like that at heart too
✭ so whenever johnny and ten had a day of rehearsing or recording ahead of them w the rest of da boys, they would almost always make a stop at the local juice bar in the morning
✭ which of course, always resulted in a thicc groan from ten bc where’s the green tea
✭ which always resulted in a retort from johnny saying “well they have gReeN aPple smOoThiEs iF yOu aCtuAlLy liKed fRuitS”
✭ they always had (yes, h a d) to go to that particular juice bar because not only was it convenient since the sm building was right next to it
✭ but also to avoid them having to buy completely new phones bc the rest of the boys were actually blowing their phones up if they didn’t get what they wanted, which johnny didn’t want bc the boy’s already dropped his phone enough give him a break boys lol:(
✭ doyoung: guys, are you at the juice bar?
✭ ten: no
✭ johnny: no
✭ renjun: no i saw them leave!
✭ ten: RENJUN
✭ johnny: no guys we’d have to drive like 30 minutes back to get your drinks
✭ renjun: ah c’mon we’ll get you guys walkers if you get us some
✭ chenle: LOLOL
✭ renjun: get it? cause they’re old hAHAH
✭ kun: i feel attacked and that wasn’t even for me
✭ winwin: aw i want some smoothies :(
✭ haechan: what’s manager hyung’s number again? hmm..
✭ ten+johnny: …….
✭ ten+johnny: ………..
✭ ten+johnny: ……………… fine
✭ mark: can i get a banana smoothie!
✭ doyoung: could i get caramel americano pls n thx
✭ yuta: but they don’t have those
✭ doyoung: wHA
✭ taeyong: yogurt smoothie!
✭ ot7: oh! could i-
✭ ten+johnny: oKAY
✭ as for johnny and ten, if they didn’t already cop their coffee elsewhere, they would always order the same ol thing and luckily, this place was one of those places that was technically a juice bar, buuuuut ofc it had other stuff like milkshakes, smoothies, etc- but hey not complaining thO
✭ so johnny’s usual: tbh he doesn’t have 1 bc when i tell u that the boy is a full on beverage (and coffee) connoisseuR-
✭ ten’s usual: a plain yogurt smoothie with 2 lil muffins (well actually it’s not really a muffin … it’s lowkey a lil cupcake but ten likes to call it muffin, so if he says it’s a muffin, muffin it is amirite)
✭ and usually the workers at the place memorized their orders AND the rest of the members by now bc of how often they came, so they wouldn’t even have to tell em! would ya look at that
✭ however on this particular day, there was one worker who had never looked so confused in her whole life
✭ who is this confused as hELL gal u ask????
✭ correct! yes sweetie, it’s you :’)
✭ it was your first shift at the juice bar and honestly you were sO NERVOUS
✭ but luckily, your coworkers were p chill and nice and willing to help you out whenever you needed !! yay 4 friendly coworkers
✭ you were spacing out, listening to the music they had faintly playing in the background as you waited for the first customers to come in for what felt like forever
✭ well, it was 6am afterall
✭ snapping you out of your daydream or morning dream whatever tf you wanna call it, your coworker eagerly shook the absolute hell out of your arm and started whisper-yelping
✭ ”oh my god they’re back!”
✭ ”what? who?”
✭ ”oh my god! this is the best morning of my life!”
✭ “you’re freaking me out what are y-”
✭ “joHNNY AND TEN ARE-”
✭ before you could ask anything else, literally all your coworkers scrambled to their stations and started making smoothies like their life depended on it and you’re like uhhHHH wtf are y’all doiN
✭ but that’s when you glanced up at the two boys walking in, and you honestly were stunned for a hot minute
✭ you knew who they were, of course you did, everyone did are u KIDDING
✭ but you literally wanted to pinch yourself because they legitimately looked like WALKING 3D SIMS W/ ALL THE PRETTY CC LOL
✭ prettiest boys you’ve ever seen with your own two eyes? you betcha!
✭ they weren’t even looking at the menu, but rather their phones and you could hear them groan lmAo and believe me you tried your best not to stare at them, but your eyes were like what did u say? disregard what u just said and continue to stare? okay!
✭ luckily a few moments later, they finally stopped groaninG and went to the front to order
✭ ”good morning! what can i get for you?” you asked johnny w the biggest smile you could muster up from your immense lack of sleep from the first day nerves… and oh! also! how could i forget, the iNTENSE nervousness of talking to these 2 sims lmao
✭ there was a silence in the air bc your coworkers were trying to stop from revealing their giddyness, but tragically failing which made johnny and ten lose focus and laugh ever so cutelY about it
✭ ”i’ll have a strawberry milkshake wiiiith….” johnny said, tapping his finger on the counter debating whether or not if it was too early for a sugar rush (also yes, he did just order a milkshake at 6 in the morning. did someone say ICON)
✭ ”whipped cream?” you asked which made johnny bust out the biggest smile
✭ ”how’d you know!”
✭ ”oh come on, a shake without whipped cream? that even sounds wrong”
✭ ”you read my mind!” johnny said in between laughs and handed you the amount of money for the coffee
✭ at this point tbh you didn’t feel that nervous anymore surprisingly, like something about johnny just made you feel sO comfy?? he was so friendly and welcoming bIH HE’S AMAZIN
✭ and yup, just when you thought your nerves were gonna pack their bags and go tf home ….. ten pops out from behind johnny like one of those wind up toys w/ the jumpscare just waiting to happen
✭ as soon as you saw him, your nerves literally said LMAO U THOUGHT, OUR FLIGHT ISN’T UNTIL TOMORROW
✭ you finally met eyes with him, and you swear to gOD that he hypnotized you
✭  what were those …. galaxies in his eyes ??? they sparkled just like the stars did
✭ and little did u know, ten was like muffin who ??? he didn’t even know what the hell that was, he was too busy thinking about how pretty u weRE
✭ also did i mention that ten is literally your biggest crush? no? OOPS OK ANYWAYS
✭ ”s-sorry” you managed to blurt out with the shyest smile ever, followed by regret bc you realized you lowkey blew your cover lol
✭ ”what can i get for you?”
✭ ”i’ll have 2 double chocolate chip muffins please” he said with the cutest smile ugh
✭ “oh and one of those macaroons! the chocolate one” he added, standing on his tippytoe’s to point over the glass im:(((
✭ ten’s smile never left his face and the more you looked at him, you noticed how confident n not shy he was, so you were like HHHHokay y/n, you gotta step tf UP DON’T U DARE TURN INTO A RED ASS APPLE
✭ oh and speaking of apples
✭ just a lil after you took ten’s order, you heard footsteps coming up from behind you
✭ you’d recognize those scary high heel clicks anywhere hHH your manager was coming to check on how you were doing
✭ and with a cringe to your eyebrows, you huffed and gave in before you could get in trouble on your first day
✭ ”oh, would you guys like to try our new morning … madness smoothie?” you asked them as u could practically feel the manager burning a hole into your head by how intensely they were glaring at yoU
✭ oof you cringed at the damn name of the thing, they sure did notice and started piecing 2 and 2 together
✭ just when you thought you’d done your part of promos, your manager “AHEM”’d you, signaling that you, indeed, were wrong again
✭ “uh- it has strawberries, apples, oranges-”
✭ as you were listing the painstakingly lengthy ingredients to them, ten’s expression changed from that cute lil smile, to an almost in pained, scared look?? OMG
✭ but to your surprise when you were done reciting the declaration of independence, he piped up with a quick ”sure!”
✭ both you and johnny looked at each other with this shook (is that still a thing?bye) expression at his sudden excited tone, johnny looking more “what the fick???” than you were
✭ before you could even say anything, ten slid over his money to a very much confused you, nodding with a look that read ‘go ahead hun’ :’(
✭ you did your thang on the register, and in the bg you could hear your manager walking back into the back-room, which made you make an obvious huff of relief
✭ ”dude why’d you order that?” you managed to hear johnny whisper to ten
✭ ”mm?”
✭ ”you-”
✭ ”hyung, shhh it’s okay” ten said a lil too loud
✭ ”hm?” you piped in, curious as to why they were bickering in asmr
✭ you noticed ten patting johnny’s back, but almost in a way where he was like ‘don’T SPILL THE TEA’ you know what i mean? but they both just shook their heads to you w/ a smile, reassuring you it was ‘nothing’
✭ as you and your coworkers worked on their orders, ngl you’d occasionally glance over at them and it legit looked like they were sharing some kinda juicy secreT bc whenever you’d look, johnny always had this cheeky smile on his face looking at ten
✭ after you finished their orders and your coworkers finished the rest of the memorized members orders, you called them up to get them in which they hurriedly rushed to the counter in the softest way (idk how them walking could be soft BUT IT IS)
✭ ”thank you!” they said in unison, making the lil awk tension break again
✭ they grabbed their drinks and food which made u kinda :( bc when will u see them again -sigh-
✭ ten looked at his phone, checking the time you assumed bc when he put his phone back in his pocket he looked #panickedt
✭ ”ah hyung we’re gonna be late. well, thanks again!” ten said to you, definitely not forgetting to shoot you another heart clenching smile
✭ “thank you, have a nice day guys!” you smiled back
✭ then you shared that same look from before, all heart stricken and iSH OOF, ten had to snap out of it quick or else the rest of the members would kick his booty for being late
✭ ten wasn’t one to be shy of showing his feelings, like he absolutely thought you were beautiful and he couldn’t help but lük, but the manager was gonna pop off if they didn’t leave so-
✭ ”you go ahead, i gotta get the straws real quick” johnny called out to him before the door closed to the juicery
✭ you handed him a straw from behind the counter to him, which he shook his head at ??????
✭ bih u were confused as hecc
✭ johnny gave you this certain look and you just knew what it meant, see from the get-go y’all had a bond!1
✭  johnny sensed the tension between you and ten the second he ordered, like it was undeniably obvious and he knew you knew, and you knew that he knew, and he knew that you knew that he-
✭ that look he gave you gave that away rip!
✭ you stood there like hhhhh what what wh-
✭ he laughed and leaned over the counter, and in the most nonchalant, yet all-telling tone he said:
✭ ”he doesn’t like fruit”
✭ and with a smirk and a wave, he was outtie
✭ BIH YOU WERE LIKE ??!!? but realistically telling yourself like ‘huh well that’s odd, wonder why he bought it then’ and ‘he probably got it for johnny’
✭ at first you really didn’t think anything of it other than the fact that he was trying 2 be a sweetie pie, but your coworkers who so eagerly were bombarding you with screenshots in your work gc (they were your mini nct skhH) strongly disagreed
✭ what were these screenshots you ask?? well-
✭ ‘Y/N’
✭ ‘Y/N ANSWERRR’
✭ ‘WHAT, WHAT I MISS’
✭ ‘YOU’RE LITERALLY VIRAL’
✭ ‘WHAT’
✭ ‘HAVE YOU BEEN ON TWITTER’
✭ ‘NO WTF’
✭ (3 attachments: screenshots of tweets saying:)
“OP was at the juice bar earlier and saw Johnny and Ten! 😭 They said that the girl asked if they wanted a fruit smoothie, and Ten said yes!”
“OMG ten ordered fruit????? he doesn’t do that?????”  
“life goal: to be the cashier at the juice bar who literally got ten to buy a fruit smoothie”
✭  ‘WHAT IS THIS I DON'T GET IT’
✭ ‘dude… they literally think ten has a crush on you’
✭ ‘LOL’
✭ ‘WE’RE SERIOUS, JUST GO ON TWITTER’
✭ and your mini nct’s weren’t lying… literally your mentions were blowing tf up with a bunch of “omg! found her @” and “girl wtf you’re famous”  
✭ but like….. you still didn’t get why people thought he had a crush on you based on that little interaction because it just was so minisicule to you, but as if twitter was trying to virtually smack you in the face, the tweets starting flowing in again
✭ this time, about people’s conversations with ten at a recent fansign omg
✭ “OP asked Ten about why he got fruit at the juice bar, and he just looked at her and smiled, and said ‘shhhhh’?”
✭ “OP asked Ten if he liked fruit now since he recently bought some, and he replied immediately ‘no no no, of course not’ ?!”
✭ one word…… WHY
✭ not only did you have all these tweets flowing in to convince you otherwise, you just remembered what johnny said to you before he left and nOW you’re like ……. okay what tf is up, it’s just fruit what is going on, why and where-
✭ oof you just couldn’t wrap your head around as to why it was such a big deal online, and it was truly bugging you and it’s not like you could ask them again what he meant
✭ 1, because you were too shy n nervous to
✭ 2, because you didn’t know if they would come back to the shop
✭ deep sighs all around my dude :(((
✭ those two always went to that shop, mostly in the mornings you heard
✭ and since you’d been working a little under a month there now, your boss started to schedule you for shifts where you didn’t need a supervisor anymore, which were 12 times out of 10 in the evening bc they were always lacking on those shifts
✭ so honestly, you haven’t worked a morning shift since your first day, the day you saw ya boys
✭ ........... (yes u knew this was comin)
✭ until one of your coworkers had to call off last minute on their shift and you were the worker they called in, that is ;))))
✭ boi when u got the call to come in, you got so !!!!! because what if you saw them again
✭ you missed them, johnny was so funny and you felt like you guys got along so easily almost instantly
✭ and ten, he’d always been your crush even before you talked to him, so that whole thing- your heart never failed to yodEl whenever you thought about him
✭ yes, they were idols, and yes you had been a fan, yes the encounters were short and probably seemed small to others
✭ but you couldn’t help it, ya know?
✭ anywho, the morning came for you to take on that shift and man were u nervous lmao
✭ when you got to work, literally only one other coworker was there with you
✭ as soon as you flipped that sign on the door from closed to open, OOO IT WAS GAME TIME
✭ the game plan: if they come back, try your best to ask them, i mean u gotta at least try, especially since the whole twitter thing AND let’s not forget why johnny felt the need to tell you what he did, you hAd to know
✭ the morning went slow, and it was raining too, so it was slower than usual since rainy days were obviously chill in dayzzz
✭ so you just tidied up around the place and waited, even did that thing people do in the movies where they look out the window while it’s raining while a slow song is playing in the bg …… except you were just staring out the window from the counter to the pop that was playing in the shop lol
✭ it wasn’t until mid 7 am that people started coming where you could finally stop acting like you were in a dilemma in the newest drama
✭ it was pretty steady then, you took orders, made them, served them, then tidied up, daydreamed out the window, basically on repeat for the rest of your shift
✭ you were on lunch break FINALLY, you swore u were gonna pass out from boredom if you heard the same pop song you daydreamed to three times already
✭ you sat along the chairs on the side of the shop, just sipping your drink, going through your phone awaiting the time for your rinse and repeat routine to get back into play *sigh*
✭ the quiet aura of the shop suddenly got interrupted as the bell rang chAoTically, followed by the squeakiest footsteps
✭ ”hyung, we shoulda brought two umbrellas”
✭ ”it’s not my fault i was blessed with this heavenly height”
✭ ”oof”
✭ your head perked up as you heard those voices, those familiar voiceS U MISSED :(
✭ you looked over and there you saw them :(
✭ ten and johnny :( right there :(
✭ their hair was just a little dampened from the rain, little water droplets on their cheeks, and their typical banter :(
✭ then all of a sudden you remembered the pact you made to yourself; “if you see them again, you gotta at least try to ask them” or else you’d forever be mAd at yourself
✭ the thing is, how tf are you gonna get their attention ??
✭ like do you just walk up to them like ‘hey!!!’ ??? like you weren’t even sure if they even would remember you omg
✭ oh lordt you could hear their voices getting closer and closer, why did it have to be raining and why did people have to camp out here for the free wiFI, there were like 5 seats open and they just so happened to be next to you wHY
✭ next thing ya know, you heard them sit to the side of you, just a few seats down
✭ ”where are they?”
✭ ”dunno, they said they’re coming”
✭ ”they said that 10 minutes agO”
✭ ”aish lucas”
✭ then again, you heard the door push open abruptly like an emergency and then another squeaky shoe sliding across the floor
✭ …. and sure as hell that was lucas and also a cheerful haechan following him
✭ they looked around adorably confused, probably looking for the 2 sims to ur rigHT
✭ you were trying not to glance at them but ugh timing ficking hates u! so when you looked up, they were already on their way to johnny and ten to the side of you
✭ when you looked up, lucas looked at you and he immediately smiled like his whole being softened a bit which made you uwu!
✭ but haechan on the other hand kinda froze in his tracks, and glanced crazy fast back and forth between you and behind you
✭ there were no words exchanged, but rather looKs exchanged bc haechan was looking at you with a look that he knows what’s going on, whATEVER THAT IS
✭ you couldn’t see it but ten and johnny were both confused as ever too, but now you could feel their stares burning into your fricken back just like your manager’s that day they came in sksk
✭ they literally actually gasped and scooted their chairs out
✭ ”hey!!! long time no see!!” johnny pops up in front of you with the biggest smile
✭ ”we’ll get the stuff ready in the car. meet us kay?” they all scurried out way too obviously quick, they didn’t even order yet i’m skAHAH
✭ leaving you and ten to each other on the benches in this tension of silence
✭ yes you heard me right, JUST you and ten
✭ these sneaky boys smh
✭ you and ten shared a mutual “???!!?” how obv could it be sksjdjdif
✭ ”so-”
✭ ”hey-”
✭ you both cut each other off which caused you to blush the same way you both did that day AWW
✭ you weren’t sure if ten would even know about how big your guys’ lil interaction became bc you weren’t sure if he even checked the internet
✭ but oh honey, he was all aware.. the amount of times it was brought up at the fansigning!1
✭ in a panic to fill the awkward silences that was inevitable to happen, you nervously and impulsively blurted out ”so, how come you don’t like fruit?” omGF
✭ he just started chEESIN and laughing to himself and you were like ???!!!
✭ “i couldn’t help myself!”
✭ “how come?”
✭ “you know!”
✭ “no, what is it!”
✭ “ah no, you know” he started teasing you omg
✭ “ten :(“ (yes you could hear the frown in your tone loL)
✭ “wah, you know my name?” he clutched his heart and leaned back like the drama queen he is
✭ “hey! don’t change subject!”
✭ but no matter how many times you asked, this baby would just sip his drink and give you the look (which by the way, your coworkers were on iT like, they brought out his drink as soon as the others left im???)
✭ yes, you know what look i’m talking about. the one where his eyebrows wiggle, and he’s staring at you like he knows some piping tea sister!
✭ he isn’t gonna budge, he’s taking that one to the grave, but honestly he just is teasing you because he really has 0 problem with telling you that he really got the fruit because he thought you were really pretty and he noticed you were getting nervous bc of your manager behind you and he didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable, so he bought it despite his hatred for fruiT , but he just thought it was cute how huffy you got JSJS
✭ and ten is def one to pick up a fruit cup, pose for a pic with it, and then immediately drop it, shaking his head in TERROR
✭ so yes, someone who doesn’t like fruit bought a fruit smoothie, maybe it’s no biggie.... but if it’s at the level of fear as ten???
✭ the difference is stARK
✭ interrupting your back in forth playful nagging chat with ten, in popped a hurried haechan with his head peeking out the front door
✭ “hyung, could you hurry up and talk to your girl, manager hyung is going to yell at us!”
✭ “haechan!”
✭ “hyung i’m sorry but we gotta-”
✭ “okay byebye~”
✭ both of you froze in your place as haechan closed the door and rushed back to the car, where you could see johnny and lucas peering over at you guys, motioning to ten omf
✭ you built up the courage to look at ten to see his reaction and he was not having it sksk this boy was literally glaring at haechan through the window like ‘wait til we get to the studio’
✭ and as if things couldn’t get anymore chaotic … in comes your manager saying “y/n could you hurry up and talk to your boyfriend later? your lunch ended 5 minutes ago” FJSKF
✭ you didn’t even want to see what his reaction was, you were so embarrassed but ugh even in your time of trauma, those were the CUTEST lil laughs you’ve ever heard
✭ but before your boss would come back and fire you, you rushed over behind the counter and took ten’s order, two double chocolate chip “muffin’s” and a little yogurt smoothie again :’)
✭ you did your thang as the lil hard worker you are, and when it came to writing his name on the side of the cup… you were like.. ‘hm okay, since ten wants to be all cute n shit… two can play at that game’
✭ your sneaky self smiled and quickly signed it with a smug, proud look on your face which made ten go ???!!! girl what did u do
✭ you gave it to ten and he thankfully smiled, sipping it as if to test run it first
✭ he did that thing where something tastes so good you start reading out the ingredients on the side of the box or dancing as you’re chewing lol he even exaggerated it a bit because he thinks your smile is so prettY
✭ ”fruit boy?” he read off the writing you on the side of the cup
✭ ”mhm”
✭ ”me?”
✭ ”mhmmm”
✭ “why is there a heart?”
✭ you were trying your best to mimic how ten was so confidently teasing you earlier by not letting you know the answer, but you were failing because even looking at him made your heart do the tHING, so all that came out of your mouth was the most flustered “u-uhhHhHh”
✭ “wahhh, someone’s blushing”
✭ “hey!”
✭ there was that pretty smile again as he looked at the little heart you put beside it along w/ a smiley face, but he never was one to blush, instead it was you w your red cheeks and red ears aWW
✭ in the same confident tone, even leaning closer, shaking his finger at you saying “gwiyeo”
✭ this boy was so happy seeing how flustered you were SMH, that same cheeky smile never left his face im-
✭ you guys were so focused on each other and being playful w each other to actually notice that people were looking at you guys all crazY, and if they weren’t then they were deffo taking pics bc honey you both were giggling and lightly nudging each other
✭ idk what was with you and these nct boys, but you felt comfortable with them easily… like ten made you BEYOND nervous but you still felt like you’ve been knew him???
✭ which was probably why so many people were gonna take your guys’ interaction further than just the normal now, especially with how red your cheeks got and how sly ten’s smile was
✭ you loved that little sly smirk of his and his playful nature, and he adored how blushy your cheeks got whenever he looked at you a little too long
✭ and honestly, you didn’t even need to say that to each other, with the look in your guys’ eyes??? oh c’mon 
✭ “you still need to tell me why yo-“
✭ “mmm-mmm” he sing-songed, sipping his lil drink
✭ “tEN”
✭ “neh?”
✭ “ten!”
✭ “fine. guess”
✭ “no tell me!”
✭ “mmmmm…. that’s not fun”
✭ “uGH”

sdr2 boys and an ideal date with their s/o?
thank you for requesting love!!! this was soso cute im glad i could write about it~
sdr2 boys and their ideal date
note; i’m pretty sure they’d all be happy wherever it was as long as it was with you, but this is based on things, in my opinion, i think they’d be most comfortable and happy to do!!
hajime hinata (video game night date)
he’d bE SO EXCITED
his favorite thing??? with his favorite person???!?!
hesoncloud9
picks out stacks upon stacks of games next to the multple consoles for you both to play
would order in pizza and get a ton of pillows for you two to sit on because he wants it to be somewhat nicely prepared okay blesshim
iNdiReCtIvElY cOmPeTiTivE
won’t admit defeat for the life of him
thinks its cute when you lose and you are all huffy and puffy
hethinksurannoyedfaceislowkeyhot
“one more round… pleaSE i wASN’T EVEN TRYING THAT TIME”
if you beat him again,,, be prepared for lovetackles
nagito komaeda (late night park date)
poor nervous lil komaeda
i mean he’s nervous about everything related to you
he still cant believe you go on dates with trash like him
but he’d love night park dates
because you could hold his hand while you two looked at the trees
or hug his side if a cold breeze blew by
he totally doesn’t think about this all the time
overall he just adores you in general
he thinks little talks while walking with you are the best thing too
heloveslisteningtoyourvoicewhenyouarepassionateaboutsomething
he just stares at you lovingly while walking
byakuya twogami (cosplay dates)
okay lisTEN
as cheesy as it is
his favorite thing in the world is to dress up with you
it doesn’t even have to be out somewhere extravagant
you could be both just at home in some cute little cosplays
and he’d be absolutely content
sometimes he’d do absolutely laughable ones
like he’d walk out into the living room with a Full Ass Mario Cosplay with the geekiest smile EVER
and you’d just go
“…just tell me where the peach costume is”
you two would just end up playing mariokart in your cosplays for hours
gundham tanaka (dog cafe date)
he’s going to combust??? you and ANIMALS??
you two would get your cute little drinks and then go into the play room with all the doggies
he’d melt seeing you squeal at the pups
would 10/10 take pics of you holding/petting the dogs
because he can’t resist i mean lOOK HOW CUTE YOU LOOK
would just watch you full of admiration
he’d make sure to meet each pup and give them all equal amounts of attention
but if one had taken a liking to you specifically and saw how perfect you two were
he’d step aside to the manager and be all like
“how much is that dog going for”
you two cuties would probably end up taking one home ngl
kazuichi souda (shopping spree date)
he’s absolutely in love with you
so treating you like the prince/princess you are is his favorite date in mind
he’s so cute he just wants u happy ugH
would love seeing you try stuff on
“souda..does this look okay?”
“dOES IT LOOK OKA-“
this sweetheart bless him he thinks you look absolutely stunning in everything
if he sees you severly eyeing something
he’s gonna either get it secretly or make you try it on
blushes so hard if what your wearing shows skin
its his weakness poor boy
teruteru hanamura (home baking date)
you guessed it
cuTECOUPLEBAKING
would ask you what you wanted to make before hand
would make sure everythings set up and ready to be prepared because he wants to make it the least stressful for you and him
you can be sure he’s going to try to come up from behind you and help you with whatever you may be doing
rolling the dough???
filling the baking tins???
mixing the batter???
he’s snaking his hands around your waist and directing your hands claiming “he’s helping you out”
he just wants to be all cute and close to you
my heaRT
fuyuhiko kuzuryu (buzzfeed unsolved binge date)
i feel like fuyu baby doesn’t like to do too many outdoor activities
partially because he thinks “all stereotypical dates are stupid”
but a cozy, casual night in????
watching two guys go into haunted places that have intense crimes and/or murders involved??
he’s in
it wouldn’t be set up with food or pillows and stuff
i feel like you’d be watching it on your laptop wrapped up in bed or something and he just
subtly slide under the covers
and peer at your laptop
after a while he may pull you closer to him
it wasn’t subconciously
nekomaru nidai (movie night date)
he’s a very casual guy who’d love to just be lazy with you
that’s why he loves movie marathoning with you
lets face it
his favorite movie would be the rocky franchise
so of course he’ll convince you to watch it with him along with the others you chose
he’s a cute mushy romantic alone with you
so he’ll be that stereotypical guy and slowly inch his arm around you while yawning
its so cute tho pleaSE
knowing him if he sees you getting sleepy
he’ll offer you one of his infamous massages, from the ultimate masseur himself
such a silly and caring boy bless his heart

Whirl is struggling with an internal, unseen force. it's difficult. It's one of the most difficult things he's had to do.

Wish I had that kinda leverage a long time ago. *shakes his head* Of course, if you're tough enough, you can make your own leverage, right? Windchill 9:55 pm (( I'll try to remember to look it up when I get home. :Oc ))\ Smart enough, Whirl. Smart enough.

ItsyBitsySpyers 9:58 pm \\WHO YOU INVADIN'?\\ Whirl 9:58 pm @Soundwave: We were. It was personal. *shoots Soundwave another look, this one wry* You're going to have to learn to talk to him sooner or later. Might as well get an early start. Me 9:58 pm ((he should maybe have made that threat BEFORE the program was made on the unalterable crystal)) Windchill 9:58 pm I invade everyone and everything. Me 9:58 pm ((since now it's too late for the threat to motivate him to try harder)) Res 9:58 pm Nuh huh Whirl 9:59 pm It's true. He does. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:59 pm ((he's new to this, gotta give him some slack)) Whirl 9:59 pm ...and you're absolutely right, Sh--Bevel. He... I thought that guy sounded familiar. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:59 pm @Whirl: [[Amusing.]] But fine. For now. Whirl 9:59 pm How much you wanna bet this plan backfires hilariously and they make new enemies instead of new allies? Res 10:00 pm Me Swoop no care. Want fights now. B 10:00 pm It is really weird, Whirl. Windchill 10:00 pm I do. Earth...Tarn...Other places...my boyfriend...my boyfriend's house...Whirl's room... *he taps his chin* There's not much left that I haven't invaded. Res 10:00 pm Dinocave never get invaded.

ItsyBitsySpyers 10:07 pm [[No killing.]] Windchill 10:07 pm If they kill me I might actually be impressed. It's not as if anyone's managed before. *He preens.* Whirl 10:08 pm Well, I wouldn't do it HERE, obviously. Res 10:08 pm *totally chill and giggly from Laserbeak compliments* Kehyah!

Right here. Me 10:14 pm ((nah, no good/no fun if I don't get to react to it live)) Whirl 10:14 pm Underneath all those noble speeches OP likes to give. ItsyBitsySpyers 10:14 pm [[Of course it is. We knew that long before your faction did.]] Res 10:14 pm Grimlock better. Optimus talky talk talk bot. Grimlock bite stuff :> Windchill 10:14 pm (( Why is it playing for me now?? )) B 10:14 pm :| Windchill 10:15 pm (( Nevermind lol. )) Whirl 10:15 pm *sidelong look to Soundwave* I knew he was a hypocrite before there WAS a faction, Soundwave.

Post hamilton feelings
okay so i just got back from NY today and hamilton was AMAZING! ngl i was a little afraid it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but the hype is Real y’all!! my full hamilton #Review is below and feel free to shoot an ask or a msg if you have questions or just wanna Yell with me about it, i still have a lot of feelings and Opinions. and besides for hamilton, NY in general was ofc amazing! it’s so big and loud and bright and beautiful!! the buildings were so cool looking i felt like such a tourist taking pics of all the buildings and shit but i couldn’t help it, i loved the #Aesthetic so much. i had so much good food and cocktails! we toured the morgan museum and library and it was so cool to see all these old documents and abstract art. the strand was so cool, i bought a second hand vintage aesop's fables book and a cool hamilton themed canvas bag, i honestly could have spent all my money there. we p much walked from midtown (our hotel was in hells kitchen) to lower manhattan (west village) all day on the 31st and the rooftop party on new years eve was so cool! the empire state building was all lit up and was right there. if you got my snapchat you probs saw the pics and the following drunk snaps... there was an open bar, so i had a good time lmaoo
okay first of the theatre is beautiful, and i had front mezzanine seats so i was on the 2nd level. my view was great, i could see everyone clearly and i only had to lean forward a little bit because of the dude in front of me and his fat head.
okay im gonna get my criticisms out of the way first so i can get back to gushing. now some parts i wasn’t quite sold on was thayne jasperson as laurens/philip and seth stewart as lafayette/jefferson.
now i’ll be honest i love jordan fisher okay so im maybe a bit biased here lmao. he’s a babe and i love his voice so much (if you haven’t heard lin and jordan fisher doing your welcome, 10/10 would recommend), so when i saw that jordan wasn’t playing my boi john laurens that night i was disappointed, ngl. i really wanted to like thayne, i really did. but. he just.... did Not do it for me. his voice is very...young and boyish sounding. higher pitched and almost squeaky in parts. it suited him well as philip when he’s playing a child but as john laurens?.....ehhhhh. he just could not sing out those smooth crooner melodies like anthony ramos and i kinda felt like he trying too hard to sound like anthony. also thayne is....very white. and tbh the line “but we’ll never be truly free until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me... wait till I sally in on a stallion with the first black battalion” just did not have the same bite coming from a little white boy.
as for seth stewart.... his lafayette was a bit forced. the accent was kinda jarring and distracting. during my shot he was really rushing it. i felt like he was trying to take it too fast and bust out those guns n ships level raps right away. when the whole point is that lafayette is unsure with english at first so he’s a bit slower and more hesitant but then by guns and ships he busts out with that IMTAKINGTHISHORSEBYTHEREINSMAKINGREDCOATSREDDERWITHBLOODSTAINS! and you’re like whooooooa! character development!!! and that did not quite happen. i was impressed that seth actually managed to pull of those guns n ships raps really well tho. so his lafayette didn’t quite do it for me, but his jefferson was amazing! jefferson has moves and swagger lol! you like him but you kinda hate that you sort of like the guy cause he’s an asshole, but he’s also charmed you a bit as well. you’re kinda sitting there like WAIT i don’t wanna like this guy but i sort of do!!
keep in mind that i have no other comparison other than the soundtrack and watching the bootleg a couple times. i was overall impressed at how true to the soundtrack it sounded!! the voices that really stood out to me were javier munoz (hamilton), brandon victor dixon (burr), nicholas christopher (washington), andrew chappelle (he’s a switch for p much all the parts but that night he played herc/madison), and mandy gonzalez (angelica). everyone was amazing but these people just really jumped out at me
javi is really enjoyable as hamilton, like i do enjoy lmm’s voice but let’s face it y’all he’s a rapper and a writer at heart, he doesn’t have those traditional broadway pipes. he still moves you and hits you right in the gut with his voice, but it is unique and distinctive, especially on broadway. so hearing javi, a objectively better singer, do hamilton was very refreshing and enjoyable. he also brings so much passion and intensity to the role and almost like a mischievous? quality as well.
dixon as burr was also very good... the burr songs (wait for it and room where it happens) were def like the highlights of the show. dixon kind of has more of a rapper quality to his voice than leslie odom jrs’ burr, who has that velvet and smoke jazz singer kind of voice. wait for it utterly took my breath away. he starts off so calm and controlled and by the crescendo he is passionate and intense, enraged even. it’s the most worked up you see burr and it’s amazing to see him go from 100 to 0 and bring it all back down to the burr like calm and control that we see all the time with him.... dixons voice was so strong and intense and when it ends and he’s standing there in darkness with just the lone light shining on him and quietly whispers “....wait for it”... ahhhh! one of my fave burr moments was how during aaron burr, sir at the line “you wanna get ahead?” burr grabs hams plain brown jacket he’s wearing at the time and like gestures and looks at it like really? you expect to get ahead looking like THIS
nicholas christopher had such a stage presence! and it’s amusing to notice that he is literally the only person in the show who can seem to say no to Ham outright. i also loved his Look, hes bald and has a big beard and when he comes out in right hand man banishing the sword it looked so badass. one last time was so intense and i was impressed that nicholas christopher managed to pull of those chris jackson runs, he sounded almost exactly like chris jackson on the soundtrack
andrew chappelle is also one of my faves, his hercules was amazing and he pulled of the swagger and presence really well but he really shone as madison. he adds so much sass and exasperation to madison, especially when it comes to jefferson. you really get the sense of him just humoring jefferson
now someone who REALLY blew the roof of the place with their voice alone was mandy gonzalez. she also played Nina in In the heights, and now she plays angelica. satisfied was one of the best parts and her voice just filled the whole theatre til it was bursting!! and the choreography and use of the turntables during satisfied was impressive, they literally rewind everything to how the scene is set during helpless when angelica, eliza, and ham meet.
speaking of hamilton and eliza omg, they were so cute??? like they’re so sweet with each other and are almost always constantly touching hands or touching in some way when near each other, which makes it that much more sad later when during non stop he tears his hands away from eliza (and angelica too) and during quiet uptown when hamilton tries to hold elizas hand and she jerks her hand away from his. another thing about quiet uptown was that when eliza decides to forgive him, hamilton is pretty much breaking down. like his shoulders are shaking and he’s openly crying and eliza is standing there impassively coldly ignoring him until she holds his hand and they turn to each other.
rory o’malley is delightful as king george, he is so petulant and ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh he had the whole theatre cracking up.
alysha deslorieux and peggy/maria was amazing! she has the same smooth low quality to it that jasmine has and say no to this was actually quite sexy. the soundtrack does not do it justice. hamilton and maria kiss pretty deeply with a lot of heat for like 10 seconds and during that part where hamilton is practically moaning “yes! yes! yes!” yea maria is essentially giving him a lapdance at that part, it was a very sensual scene.
parts i cried/teared up during (yes i am weak and emo okay)
-helpless
-satisfied
-wait for it
-that would be enough
-dear theodosia
-the laurens interlude
-one last time
-hurricane
-burn
-it’s quiet uptown
-best of wives and best of women
-who lives who dies who tells your story
